TURPIE GIVES THE LIE.
Charges Senator Aldrich With
Telling Three Gross Lies.
PB0F0TJND SENSATION 0EEATED.
ETeryonc Amazed at the IVrsoual Attack
Upon the Khode Island Senator His Ue
ply Was Very Short Trouble Arose Orel
Discustlon or the Tariff Bill Senator
Stockbrldge and Frank Hatton Dead.
Washington, May 1. Senator Harris,
who is in charge of the tariff bill, lost
patience Monday at the way in which
progress was impeded by Senator Hale
in the morning hour. As on several pre
ceding days, Mr. Hale objected to giving
way for special measures in the morning.
Finally Mr. Harris abruptly asked
that the senate proceed with the consid
eration of the tariff bill. Mr. Wolcott
interposed a question as to whether the
committee now intended to report
amendments which would change the
whole scope and character of the bill.
He had understood Mr. Harris that the
changes were to be made and Mr. Voor
hees to deny it. This gentle prod, how
ever, did not force the hand of the Ten
nessee senator, who said he could not
say exactly what amendments were to
be proposed. Mr. Aldrich said it was
due to the senate and country that they
should know what bill was to be con
sidered. "House bill 4,S1," interjected Mr.
Harris sharply.
"Yes," replied Mr. Aldrich, "with the
amendments, but when are they to be
submitted?"'
"When we get ready," said Mr. Gray
from his seat.
Secretary Carlisle's Interview.
Mr. Aldrich jhen took a paper from
his desk containing an interview with
Secretary Carlisle. He said he thought
it a strange coincidence that the execu
tive officers of the government seemed
alwaj's in possession of advanced infor
mation regarding the progress of tariff
reform. President Cleveland in his mes
sage told the country in advance what
the Wilson bill was to contain, and now
Carlisle came forward with this ad
vance information about the harmoniz
ing of Democratic discord information
which was in conflict with the recent
statement of the chairman of the finance
committee.
Mr. Allen (Neb) at this point suddenly
threw "senatorial courtesy" In the winds
and demanded the regular order. The
tariff bill was then laid before the senate.
Aldrich Accept the Challenge.
Mr. Aldrich renewed his comments on
the Carlisle interview. In reply to a re
mark by Mr. Vest, that Mr. Aldrich had
been falsely infouned concerning the
proposed amendments to the tariff bill
and the&e statements were repeated, it
must le on his own responsibility. Mr.
Aldrich accepted the challenge and rose
with the statement on his lips, that li6
was "informed and believed that amend
ments had been added to the bill since
it had been reported to the senate, as he
had previously stated." ne asserted the
amendments were m print and said it
was his understanding that they were to
be submitted to the senate shortly. They
were, he w'ts certain, from what he had
heard, of a nature to completely change
the character of the bill. As a result of
this condition of affairs, the senate was
no nearer the final consideration of the
bill than three months ago, when the
bill came from the house.
Messrs. Allison, Teller and Hawley
took a hand in the discussion, while
Mr. Hale returned to the Carlisle inter
view, declaring that it bore till the ear
marks of authenticity. Then Mr. Pal
mer took a turn and Mr. Carey and Mr.
Chandler joined the colloquy, which Mr.
Harris vainly endeavored to bring to a
close. A few minutes afterwards an in
cident occurred which created a pro
found sensation. All the Democrats had
been more or less irritated I13 the prod
ding fiom the other side and a feeling
directed principally against Mr. Aid
rich, who was manouveriug the opposi
tion. Aldrich Called a Triple I.iar.
Mr. Turpie, who got the floor when
Mr. Palmer sat down, made a direct as
sault on Mr. Aldrich, the like of which
has not leen heard in the senate cham
ber for years. He declared that three
monstrous untruths had characterized
the opposition, three gros lies of incon
ceivable mendacity. The first of thoe
untruths was that a new bill was lwing
prepared by the secretary of the treas
nry; the second that "J.('0 or 400 amend
ments (it did not matter which) were to
le presented and the third was that the
bill reported from tho finance committee
was no t the billto be passed. All these
assertions had been categorically denied
by four Democratic members of the
finance committee.
"And yet,' continued Mr. Turpie,
raising his hand aloft and stretching it
toward Mr. Aldrich, "the senator from
Rhode Island comes in hero and says ho
believes they tire true. There could bo
no such an isue of veracity. I prefer to
believe and I do believe the senators on
this side, and I disbelieve the senators
no, I will not say senators 1 dislxjlieve
the diminutive unite of the other side
who assert to the contrary. Who is the
authority of these reports that are being
circulated here and in the newspaper
press; who claims the paternity': The
senator from Rhode Island. I recollect
the predecessor of the honorable senator
from Rhode Island." he continued with
biting and venomous irony preferring to
Senator Aldrich of 1SD0), "as a different
individual from the Senator Aldrich
of today, but even he could not have
been the author of all these untrutlis.
He might have been the author of one,
but three would have driven him from
the field. He had been a drug clerk and
was familiar with that lino of business
and other lines as a wholesale grocer.
We who were here then will never for
get the writhing of his distinguished
countenance, his enormous development
of check that extended from ear to ear
and from chin to forehead. We will
never forget his auricular appendages
that scraped the dome of the capitol.
How can the present senator hope to
rival his predecessor in the hatred of
truth and the love of falsehood that has
always characterized the cheats of pro
tection':" When Mr. Turpie sat down there was
a hush. Everyone was amazed at the
personal character of the attack upon
Mr. Aldrich. Then all eyes were turned
upon the Rhode Island senator. He rose
slowly. "In the position the senator
from Indiana now takes,' he said slowly
and deliberately, -he speaks for no one
but himself. Under other circumstances
ajid conditions I do not believe he would
have made the speech he has made."
Mr. Aldrich took his seat. The inci
dent closed without another word, and
Mr. Quay took the floor and resumed tho
prepared speech begun some weeks ago.

DEBS AND HILL ARE DETERMINED
Neither Side In the Great Northern Strike
Willing to Yield a Point.
St. Paul. May 1. President Debs, of
the American Railway union, is moro
confident and President Hill, of the

at any time since the strike began two

had told the committee from the com

employes would like to meet Mr. Hill
and talk matters over and have them act
as an arbitration committee. He made
no formal proposition, but suggested this
plan, not promising to be bound by their
decision.
When Mr. Hill was asked about it, he
promptly ascertained that the proposi
tion was not a formal one, and said he
could not consider any thing until it came
in a more formal way before him. He
said he proposed to continue the work of
running his own road and that the men
would be ordered to work, and when one

he has at hand.

KELLY WILL NOT WALK.
His Army Will Stay at Des
Moines Until It Can Rider.
0ITY 0PFI0IALS IK A TURMOIL.
Continued Growth of Sentiment Favorable
to the Industrials Many Recruit Join
Ing Kelly Expects to Lead Two Thou
sand Men to Chicago Rock Island Em
ployes Favor a Strike.
Des Moines. May 1. The denuncia
tion by the laboring classes of the action
of the city authorities in the handling of
the industrial army and the continued
growth of sentiment favorable to Kelly
kept the city officials in a turmoil Mon
day. Mayor Hillis stated during the aft
ernoon that he would go to the camp
with a police magistrate, declare the ar
my under arrest, try them in a bunch as
vagrants and sentence them to three days
in jail. Then he said he would turn the
papers over to the sheriff to serve, thus
shifting the responsibility onto the coun
ty. Kelly said he would not walk out
of town and that he expected to have a
train Wednesday. His army grew rap
idly during the day. Men came in from
all direction and 1,175 reported for ra
tions Monday night. More are coming
all the time and Kelly expects to lead
2.000 to Cliicago.
The cit- has kept its promise to furn
ish but one day's provision, but the citi
zens committee sent out six wagon loads
and say there is sufficient food promised
to keep the army a week. As revenge
for the slight received from Mayor Hillis
the citizens committee has been busy all
day developing sentiment for Kelly with
results anything but satisfactory to the
authorities. The labor organizations
still believe that transportation to Du
buque will be secured over the Great
Western and tho talk of tearing up the
roads should it not be secured was in
dulged in.
A committee of railroad attorneys
called on tho clerk of tho United States
court and arranged for arrests in case a
train is stolen. The city council held an
extra session to consider the situation.
Rumors of a general tie-up of all the
railroads running into Des Moines were
rife. Labor leaders said that if Kelly
was not furnished transportation within
three or four days, the strike said to have
been proposed by the local lodge of tho
American Railway union would spread
to all the roads here, and that the tie
up would continue until the army was
carried to Chicago. A member of the
American Railway union stated that the
457 men in the local union are a unit in
desiring a strike on the Rock Island. He
declared that other roads would be af
fected and that a train must be secured
before Wednesday if a tie-up is to be
avoided.
Superintendent Egan, of the Great
Western, stated to a committee seeking
transportation arrangements that the in
dustrials would not be carried for less
than full fare. Mr. Egan served notice
ontk'e municipal and state authorities
that trouble was probable and asking for
protection of the road's property. The
matter was discussed at the special meet
ing of the city council and special reso
lutions were passed declaring ever- ef
fort would be made to maintain law and
order.
Rock Island Strike Not Contemplated.
Chicago, May 1. Concerning the
rumor from Des Moines that the Ameri
can Railway union contemplated order
ing a strike on the Rock Island if the
road did not furnish transportation to
Kelly and his men, Secretary Keliper of
the union said there was no foundation
for it. The union, he said, was organ
ized to protect the interests of railway
men and would hardly take up the
battles of other men. Mr. Keliper said
none of the officers of the union were
going to Des Moines and there had been
no communication with the Des Moines
division on the subject of a strike.
Coxey Making Arrangements.
Washington, May 1. Thosocondday
of the commonweal army in Washing
ton was spent by Commander Coxey in
making arrangements with the authori
ties for his May day demonstration and
by the men in the miserable little camp
up at Brightwood grumbling at the poor
fare provided for them.
Yale Students Itought Coxeyites Bread.
New Haven, May 1. The students of
Yale law school raised a fund of $50 to
buy bread and banners for Sweetland's
contingent of the Coxey army which
arrived here.
TWELVE PEOPLE WERE KILLED.
Large Area of land Cared Into the Rivet
St. Ann Near Quebec.
Ql-ebeo, May 1. Friday night about
8:30 o'clock the inhabitants of tho village
of St. Albans, situated 48 miles from
here and four miles from Lachreveterrc,
in the county of Port Neutf, heard a ter
rible noise resembling the roll of thuudei
in the distance. The soil vibrated and
panic ensued. At a waterfall in the
River St. Ann the ground which stays
the formation on the right side gave
way and the earth and rocks buried a
pulp wood mill. The sides of the river,
which are composed of clay and 150 feet
high, caved in, blocking up the natural
channel of the river for a distance of five
miles and to a depth of 17 feet, making
the water rise 100 feet above the earth
walls that were supposed to hold it back.
The walls were not strong enough to
keep in check the fury of the stream, and
with a terrible roar and rush the water
came down upon the unprotected village,
carrying away the bridge. The water
rose at St. Casimir and carried away an
other bridge. At St. Ann it carried
away two pieces of the bridges and all
the lumber booms. The house of Farmer
Ganthier, at St. Alban.s. is completely
buried and the four unfortunate peopl
who occupied it are supposed to be
crushed below.
Hundreds of cattle, horses, sheep and
pigs have perished. River Noire, the
exact place of the accident, is not any
where near a telegraph station and no
information as to the number and names
of the dead can lie had with certainty.
The people of all the surrounding dis
tricts are panic stricken and on account
of the altered condition of the country
it is very difficult to reach the scene and
return. The piece of land which slid
into the river is about a mile long and
four miles wide. The latest information
received i3 to the effect that 400,000
worth of property has been destroyed
and 12 people killed.

compared with whom Judas Iscariot was
an angel, and Benedict Arnold a saint."
